@apple852hk Tea helps me a lot too, I drink a lot of it! It also helps me from going back to the kitchen after dinner.

@its_cleo I'm debating on what to do about the gym too. Mine's still open, one of the only ones left that is. I'm a little mixed about going, not sure if I should be staying home like everyone else or just go and take my Clorox wipes and wipe everything down like I've been doing. I do feel a lot better mentally and physically when I go too.

Go Team, awesome weight loss and top of the leaderboard! Congratulations @workonmedaily
@vegan4lyfe2012 @raleighgirl09 !!!

@Cornanda nice drop in weight!

Sunday check-in
Calories- under
Exercise- walking, bike, body strength, yoga
Water- over (mostly tea and ginger water)

Habits
Weights 3xs a week- either going to gym tomorrow or doing an app lifting routine (largest weights I have is 10lbs though)
Cardio 30 minutes minimum- done
Strength/yoga- done
Decluttering/cleaning- not good this week aside of basic upkeep
Recipe- looking at a few, forgot to get potatoes but have sweet potatoes so I may still make the Persian split pea with sweet potatoes and hope for the best. I have a handful of recipes for what's in the house, hopefully at the end of the week I'll be able to restock produce.
10,000 steps- done

I've been thinking of switching up my strength routine a bit but am unsure how I'll do it yet. I'm currently doing some things I should be doing every other like weighted squats and lunges. Planks and side planks, pushups, sit ups, and obliques should be fine daily. It would give me the opportunity to add a few other things in if I break it up a bit. We'll see. Meanwhile my microwave broke last night. Geez, you don't realize how much you use something until it breaks! I'm always heating water in the microwave for tea, batch my oatmeal and heat that and an apple in the morning, beans at lunch, then reheat dinners and make air popped popcorn in a microwave popper. I do have to admit stove popcorn with a little oil and butter so it wouldn't stick to the pot tasted pretty amazing for a change!

Week 3
Monday
PW: 165.4
CW: 164.6

It's been a crazy week to say the least. I haven't tracked anything but I'm very aware how much I am eating. Schools are shut down here and with my husbands current over seas trip we are self quarantining. I'm not stressed about this and actually more calm then normal.

We took a drive as a family yesterday and visited one of our oldest churches. It's a place of healing with a lot of open space to walk around and enjoy. It was such a peaceful day with my family and I am so grateful to have them all. So YES walking helps! Being outside helps! Family helps! I hope everyone is staying healthy and safe amid the craziness of the world right now.

Wasn't sure I was going to be in the green this week. I went away for the weekend. My food choices weren't too bad but exercise was nil.

I'm not planning to leave my house for the next few weeks. My oncologist always stresses to not get sick so I'm going to be extremely diligent. My goal this week will be to avoid the temptation of staying in my pjs all day and parking my butt on the couch.

hey all

Well a lot has changed since I posted, bc of the virus which everyone knows so I won't get into except to say- I already spent a lot of time alone and was kind of isolated, now even more so. On top of that my beloved gym closed. So it's been a bit rough emotionally, but this morning I had to come up with a new plan for myself, I need structure and lists or I go right off the rails emotionally.

So I'm hoping to report in each night. Some of my goals are about moving- as I said above I have chronic pain issues if I sit too long. I can do cardio- jog, ealk, etc, but it's not enough. Tomorrow I have to try to find some bodyweight stuff I can do

Anyway goals:

-in the am, do Leslie Sansone for 5 mins just to warm up - Y
-sit only 45 mins then up for 15-30 mins- Y except around lunch hour/mid-afternoon
-stretch or do mobility work each standing break - Y
-moisturize- 2/3
-wash my face at night- Y
-2x daily check in, just an emotional checkin 1/2.
-wrist work to help arthritis- 1/2
-go out 3x a day- Y. Right now I am just walking or jogging, etc.


Not bad, hope to improve tomorrow.

@AustinRuadhain I like the sax, that's cool you could play. I always wished I could play an instrument.

@jactop do take care, it's hard to be in all the time though. I like the Leslie Sansone videos for light indoor cardio.

@leonadixon that sounds like a lovely day. Places like that can be so soothing.

@nbbaby I hope you're feeling better.

@TeraBbreakingFree that is great you are doing the self-q, though I know it can be challenging.

@Katmary71 I can't stand when my microwave breaks. And then I always want a replacement and so I get something really fast and it ends up being crappy. Let us know if you change up the workouts!

I haven't been keeping up with the habit tracker, will try to do it tomorrow.

Take care all.

@vegan4lyfe2012 It's good to see you, hope you're hanging in there!

@TeraBbreakingFree Good loss, glad you're feeling calm with all that's going on.

@nbbaby Great drop! I hope you feel better, I'm sorry you're hurting.

@leonadixon Sounds like an amazing day! It's been raining here and was beautiful last week, can't wait for the good weather to come back.

@Jactop down a pound, awesome! Actually you helped me not get up and sit on the couch and go online with my coffee first thing in the morning by telling me how to get in steps. I've been waking up earlier and marching in place while I wake up. I'm not very happy at first but I start the day off with a lot more energy.

@AustinRuadhain Great day! How's the decluttering going, is your office clean yet? Man, I'm regretting cleaning out my pantry, fridge and freezer, and medicine cabinets now, I had a lot of stuff that's no longer "me" that would've been good in case of emergency!

@its_cleo If you're struggling come post here, I'll check in the mornings to see if you've posted. I'm already going a little stir-crazy, I meet with the nurse at my psych's office to go over my medication and I'm actually looking forward to it! I did a bunch of You Tube workouts today that were fun, you may like one of the strength ones. There's a cool plank challenge, I've been doing planks and side planks every day and the variations were a great workout, thought my arms were going to fall off! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6X1c79oyYV4&t=89s
This was a good core workout for 10 minutes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uUKAYkQZXko
I did that Leslie Sansone one today, I like her too.

@wrknonmedaily I hope work rotation goes well.
